Background: Gestational hypertension is common all over the world, although it is more common in developing nations and it's an unexpected, multi-organ illness that linked to a lot of maternal and fetal illness and mortality. Aim: Assess the effect of Benson relaxation technique on physiological parameters, anxiety and sleep quality among gestational hypertensive women. Design: Quasi experimental study was used. Setting: All obstetrics hospitals in Port Said city. Subjects: Purposive sample of 160 pregnant women with gestational hypertension were randomly divided into two equal groups. Tools of the study: Four tools were used: Structured interviewing questionnaire, a sheet of physiological measures, hospital anxiety scale (HAS) and the Groningen sleep quality scale (GSQS). Results:The difference between before and after the intervention regarding vital signs in the study group was statistically significant (p=0.001), but not statistically significant in comparison to control group. Also, mean score of Benson relaxation technique for anxiety level in study group was 8.475±4.353 compared to 36.500±7.865 in control group, with a statistically significant between them (P =0.000*). Furthermore, mean score of Benson relaxation technique for sleep quality in study group was 4.53 ± 0.46 compared to 8.32 ± 0.38 in control group, with a statistically significant between them (P =0.001*). Conclusion: Benson relaxation can be utilized as an useful strategy to improve in physiological parameters, sleep quality, and decrease anxiety levels in gestational hypertensive women. Recommendation: The Benson relaxation therapy is an effective therapeutic approach for gestational hypertensive women and should included in their nursing care plan.

Background: Postpartum care standards have demonstrated to enhance clinical outcomes for women who have caesarean delivery, as decrease pain, complications, hospital stays and improve clinical practice. Women's satisfaction is a key indicator of how well guidelines are implemented. Aim: This study aimed at assess the effect of postpartum standardized care guidelines to caesarean section women on their pain relief and satisfaction.Subjects and method: Design: Quasi-experimental study design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at obstetric and gynecologic department, Alazher university hospital in Damietta governorate. Subjects: A total of 125 women underwent cesarean section operation divided into two groups were recruited. Tools of data collection: Structured interviewing questionnaire, follow-up observation checklist and women's satisfaction Likert scale were used. Results: Statistically significant differences observed between study group and control group (p = 0.001), as the study group were more likely to start early oral fluid, initiate regular diet, less exposed to complications and more likely to mobilize less than 6 hours (100.0%). Mean scores of pain in first 24 hours were lower in the study group (2.46±1.58) than in the control group (3.50±1.76). In addition, women in the study group were more satisfied with all aspects of postpartum guidelines (64.35±13.67) than women in the control group (63.34±12.67). Conclusion: Implementation of postoperative guidelines among caesarean delivery women was found to be beneficial in relief postoperative pain, complications and increase women's satisfaction. Recommendations: Postpartum standard care guidelines should be incorporated into the postoperative management protocol at all government hospitals.
